Carcinoma Erysipelatoides-cutaneous Lymphatic Vessel Spread of a Poorly Differentiated Naso-pharyngeal Carcinoma

Carcinoma erysipelatoides, which is frequently called inflammatory carcinoma, is an uncommon form of skin metastasis. It originates most commonly from breast carcinoma and less often from endometrial or bronchogenic carcinoma. The naso-pharynx is an unusual source for carcinoma erysipelatoides. We present a case of carcinoma erysipelatoides due to poorly differentiated naso-pharyngeal carcinoma.
